DAVID GRAY predicted there is still “a lot more to come” from Kieron Bowie after the burgeoning Scotland forward’s wonder goal in Hibernian’s Euro triumph.

Partizan Belgrade manager Srdjan Blagojevic described the 22-year-old Hibs star’s Conference League exocet as a “once-in-a-lifetime” strike.

With the ball bouncing in the Partizan half, Bowie launched an incredible strike from more than 30 yards out which dipped perfectly under Marko Milosevic’s crossbar to put Hibs 3-2 ahead on their way to a 4-3 aggregate win.

The striker was badly hindered by injury in his first season at Easter Road, but given his form this summer, there is a growing clamour for him to lead the Scotland attack in next month’s World Cup qualifiers against Denmark and Belarus.
